Forsaken

Manifest Of Hate

Century Media

Ouch. Maybe one out of every twenty black metal or death metal bands doesn’t give me a headache, and this isn’t one of them. I honestly could not listen to more than two tracks on this album, it seriously gave me a headache. I guess I am just picky with that type of stuff, I like the big bands, like Emperor, Deicide, Moonspell, and Nile, but these guys just sound like all the other unoriginal grind/death/black bands out there. This album is good for the people hardcore into all the Century Media and Nuclear Blast bands, but for anyone else, I wouldn’t recommend it.
